Worship
Spiritual Wing
The Spiritual Wing helps each seeker connect with the inner self, through bhajans, remembering the Name, study and meditation.
What does the Spiritual Wing do?
The Spiritual Wing is the part of the Organisation that nurtures the inner self and awakens the divinity inherent in every person. At Samithi level its regular programmes are community and house bhajans, Nagar Sankirtan, study circles, remembering the Name, japa and meditation.
These programmes are open to people of every faith. The Organisation does not proselytise; each person is encouraged to follow their own faith better.
“There is nothing superior to devotional singing.”
